We still have moments when memories of Chuck resurface. Every so often I see a fellow who instantly reminds me of that well known beard or those twinkling eyes and his ever so warm ways of drawing you into a conversation with fun. We were neighbors for many of the years our sons grew up and became great friends. So many cherished memories that remain with love. We are thinking of you all! Lovingly, Terry & Chris Finklein

Dear Jackie, Jeff, and Keith our thoughts and prayers are with you all. It seems just like yesterday growing up with Jeff through elementary, and high school. Chuck was always such a calming presence on the sidelines at all of our sporting events. He never missed a game. When he spoke everyone listened. Celebrate all the peace, joy, and comfort he gave everyone!He is and will be forever missed!
